No Bloat PDF is a free PDF viewer for Windows built for one job: opening documents instantly. A 4.6 MB installer delivers tabs for multiple documents, full text search, thumbnails and bookmarks, dark mode, high resolution printing, and highlighting and annotations, rendered by Mozilla's pdf.js engine in a lightweight native shell. Pages can be deleted, reordered, copied, and exported from the Pages panel and saved back into the PDF. Combine Files takes PDFs and images (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, WebP), lets you drag them into order, and writes one new PDF, entirely offline. Signatures can be typed, drawn, or uploaded, and up to five saved for reuse. Sanitize Document rebuilds a file from scratch so the author name, metadata, scripts, and prior revisions are genuinely removed rather than merely hidden. It makes zero network calls: no telemetry, no accounts, no cloud, no upsells.
What's new in 1.5.1
Fixed: on XFA forms (Adobe LiveCycle), deleting a page left Save and Save As doing nothing, with no error. Page editing is now off for those forms and saving works. A save that cannot finish now always says so and keeps your changes; discarding edits no longer opens a Save dialog; Combine Files and Sanitize Document explain XFA forms instead of writing a placeholder page.
